Want to purchase a vcr/dvd recorder combo for our hdtv

You'll need to use the direct input on the rrcorder from the DVR video output.Some channels won't record as they're encoded

Hello, that set doesn't have a tuner, thus no antenna connection. if you have a vcr or a cable box you can use the tuner in it and come from the output jacks on the vcr or cable box to the input on the tv.....thanks, Terry

The VCR/DVD combo that you purchased will be able to record what you wish to a VHS tape at low quality or to a DVD at a higher quality.

1. Coax cable (round and screw on) from the antenna to VCR/DVD
2. Coax/AV/HDMI cable (only need 1) from the VCR/DVD player to TV
3. TV on and turned to the input matching the cable you used in step 2
4. Turn on VCR/DVD and use the remote control included with this unit. Not the TV's
5. Turn it to the channel 11 on the VCR/DVD
6. Put in a VHS tape or DVD-R to record onto
7. You will be able to hit record whenever the show comes on or used timed recording in the menu to schedule it ahead of time
   

Your dvd recorder only has rca, red white yellow inputs it wont allow you to record in HD, although you can play your comcast box any hd, regular digital through and record. Hook up the comcast box if HD through preferably HDMI if not get one from comcast. The HD box is the only box that allow HDMI, component and regular RCA and some RF out. This way you can play HD to your set but also record through RCA or RF again will not allow for HD record unless its TiVo. Hope this helps

Use output of combo player to input of TV. Use what ever available input you have left on you TV. HDMI or Component input is best, but others will work.

A DTV converter box will take digital broadcast signals from the antenna and convert them to a format compatible with the VCR. You will be able to record programs received through the DTV box on your VCR if you could record analog over-the-air programs before the digital changeover. You can use either the RF output or the component output from the DTV box to input to the VCR.

You can use a normal set top box, plugged into the AV inputs on the combo, you could even use a seperate VCR for this, as long as it's recieving the signal you want to record.

your model is "tuner free" that means it does not have the RF screw in connector. Buy one that has a tuner, preferably both ATSC(USA digital) and NTSC(USA analog)

first you do connect cable to your > combo VCR / DVD player & recorder then connect to > to your TV:
cable coax output or if that cable have video/audio ouput is going to INPUT >to combo VCR / DVD player video / audio output is going to INPUT > to TV,.that's the time you can record and playback;

Good luck ,and Thank you in advance:

Shouldn't have to, but HD through the wall connector may be an issue if you are wanting that. I don't know for sure. Almost all tv's made in the last 1 year - 2 years have digital tuners built in
